Jesus Christ was born
In Bethlehem town
When Herod, the king,
Wore a robe and crown.
Wise men from the East
Were looking for Christ.
He’s King of the Jews;
His worth is unpriced.
They saw His bright star
In the Eastern sky.
Coming to worship,
Bow down, glorify.
Herod was troubled,
Jerusalem, too.
He gathered the scribes
And asked if they knew,
“Where is this baby?”
The Christ is His name.
Prophets have written,
A Ruler, they claim.
He’ll be a Shepherd,
Guiding every day.
So, Herod, in secret,
Sent wise men away.
He asked once again,
“What time did the star
Appear in the sky?
Go search near and far.
“Bring word back to me;
I’ll worship Him, too.”
But Herod was evil
The wise men saw through.
The star in the East
Shone bright before them,
It led them to Jesus
And they worshipped Him.
They gave Him treasures,
Gifts of gold and myrrh,
With frankincense, rare.
So quiet they were.
The wise men were warned,
Herod won’t bow down.
They traveled away
To their own home town.
Protecting God’s Son,
His plan ever true,
This Baby grew strong
To save me and you.
Wise men still seek Him,
Our Savior and King.
Find Him; obey Him,
Praise, worship, and sing.
Based on Matthew 2:1-12
God wants us to seek Him today.
Here are five ways:
1. Search for Him in scripture. He is on every page.
2. Open your heart. Be honest and receptive to God.
3. Pray continually. Pray anytime for any reason.
4. Be still and listen. God wants to speak to you.
5. Find a community of Christians in a local church.
Wise men still seek Him. Do you?
